See a&e page 6 Monday, April 27, 1998 www.weber.edusignpost Volume 60 Number 73 General election results announced Brown, Austin, Wolfe all victorious By Kari Lynn Harland campus affairs editor -The Signpost By Angela Wadman news editor-The Signpost Emotions were high. Screams and cheers could be heard outside the Shepherd Union Ballroom as the new senators, president and other positions were announced Friday. The votes were counted twice for the Associated Students of Weber State University elections. A total of 1 ,9 1 5 students 1 3 percent of the student body voted. "We had 500 more votes than last year. That's significant," said ASWSU president Aaron Campbell. "It is due to the number of good candidates that pulled out a lot of people to vote." "I voted, but basically, I don't care. But, you know, it's the ones that come and talk to the students that are going to get voted for," Staci Lawson said. Reuben Renstron said, "I'm disappointed in the number of candidates running. I mean, we didn't even have very many primaries. I'm also disappointed that it's the same people running who always run." In the race of new faces versus experience, new faces won as Brian Brown was named the 1998-99 ASWSU president. "We're going to have a great year," Brown said. "If you have any ideas, come talk to me." The outcome of the race for vice president ended with Nikki Austin winning academic vice president and Kristen Wolfe as the new executive vice president. Votes came close for applied science and technology, health professions, science and nontraditional students senators. "I thought some races to be closer and some not to be closer than they were," said director of student activities Judy Hurst. The race for nontraditional student senator was close as Kelsey Babcock won by four votes over Robert Brito. There was a difference of 21 votes in the race for health professions senator between Jeremy Kjar and Alex Szamosfalvi and a difference of 43 votes between Ben Heiner and Shayne Taylor for science senator. Some senate seats were uncontested, including black students, John Allen Shaw; business and economics, Mike X. Chertudi; Latino ChicanoHispanic students, Anthony Robert Archuleta; Native American students, Bill Sinclair; residence halls, Lori Pacheco; and students with disabilities, Ardell Jenks. Though no one was running for veteran senator, Don McConkie was written in by four students and won. "I am really impressed with the elections committee. They did an excellent job of trying to be objective and run a smooth election," Hurst said. inside post neWS seepage 2 &3 Elections 0 1998 Signpost Continuing Coverage T Vote Tallies President w-Brian Brown 1079 Justin B.
